I’ve gigged and met a lot of cool people recently, so thought it might be time to do some public ‘thank-you-ing’… So, in reverse order…
A big thanks to Dave from Theoretical Records for putting on a lovely wee night at The Wee Red Bar. I had a tremendous time. To Sonya, thanks for coming to that gig and for being one of my only ‘die-hard-fans’. To Graham & Jenn from The Dirt - thanks for your awesome set, and for being Murder Ballad fans too - I love you!
A huge big shoulder-massaging thanks must go out to Roger ‘Bluesfather’ Emmerson, for putting on Blue Wednesday @ The Forest on the 4th of Nov. Lovin’ your work, Rog.
I must thank the Canadian lady who stalks me at The Newsroom Open Mic every other week too - you are awesome, not only for being Canadian, but for loving me!
A HUGE Augustalia-sized thank you to Fee at Cosmopol Clydebank - you rawk and we’ll be back, oh yes!
To my band, Augustalia - Steve and Adrian, you are wonderful people, bandmates, and monkeys… we sound wicked and I know that is because you guys are putting in the hours. Love you.
To Nick Q at The Buff Club - I had a rawkin’ time on the 22/10, and am looking forward to Cafe Rio on the 2nd December. Keep churning the music on out there, boy!
To Nicky Carder, Eddie Robinson, and Susanna Macdonald, for sticking with AMG and with me, even though I spend more time off the rails than on. You are all beautiful people and magnificent musicians. Dig.
To Jym Ponter, for continuing to be my muse, despite your protestations… and for never letting me away with anything. You are the only one to manage this feat. *bite*
To Al ‘Little Pebble’ Oates - thank you for playing with us on the 27th Aug, and for being the best, grumpiest, most amusing Binkies soundman ever. x
This last thank you is a shout out across the world… all the way to my birthday twin and closest friend, Toby Mills. Your sage advice, care-less attitude, and continued support despite our distance is a bloody god-send.
Also a general thanks to everyone who has bothered to listen to my music, come to a show, or to have shown their support in any way this year. It means a lot to this cynical old dog. Dig, people, dig!
Love & Laudanum,
Hann
